Best in decades

Perhaps against all odds, TEMPOS were up to proper live speed (my biggest beef with recent tours), notes were well-articulated, no lengthy "can we celebrate Freddie together" awkward excuses... just fabulously presented rock & roll, with stunning harmonies and a rich visual presentation... there's just no getting around it - the Global Citizen performance of Q+AL was top notch - or, from another perspective, the best in decades. BRAVO.

Agreed. A great performance.

I lasted about 1 minute each song (except LOML). he annoying tool constantly changing the singing melodies was so annoying. He should never be let near a microphone. His annoying oversinging is even more prominent than in former times. And he is constantly off tempo.
They should really be ashamed onf themselves performing like this. Bloody awful. And May in his "masque" is just laughable

For about the 100th time he's not Freddie so why do you expect him to sing it exactly like the original or how Freddie would? And for that matter when did Freddie ever not change the melody and phrasing live, he never copied the recordings and always improvised live so why should Adam be any different?

If I want to hear Queen songs from a band they obviously still call QUeen (despite the "Plus" ) I expect not a free improvisation of the songs with annoying oversinging. Brian Johnsons never tried to find completely new melodie for the Bon Scott songs. Neither did Paul Rodgers in QPR. And it sounded absolutely embarrassing and offputting. and the "Look how high I can sing" has turned even worse. How annoying can this guy get???
Freddie surely changed some songs but it was always true to the original version. What Lamefart does is just adding completely new melodies and squeals in that do not fit a bit

Paul changed the phrasing/melody all the time http://youtu.be/izMvfxxRbcE?t=164

Don't know about Bon & Brian since I've not compared them on the same songs but like I said you can't expect one singer to be copying another and doing things exactly the same unless they're a tribute band. Think we've already established you hate Adam so you're never gonna like his versions of the songs.

This was so far from the best, let alone in decades. I honestly don't remember the last time I cringed so much watching Q+AL.
I think they wanted a set with much Q+AL spectacle as possible, in a setting like this, it really didn't work, IMO.

Cringeworthy as any QAL show

If all people are gonna do is slag the collaboration, what’s even the point in commenting?
Sad really that you feel vexed about it, isn’t there more important things going on in your lives?
Me, I enjoyed it, even if Brian’s mask is kinda creepy...

Bo Rhap guitar mistake, after the rock section was totally unexpected for me.
What's more vocally-wise it was not Adam's best performance.
Connection with the crowd was not that good....

I really enjoyed that performance! It was great to watch them again. I don’t think, it was their best performance, but Festival performances usually aren’t. Still, they managed to show, that they are miles ahead all the other acts. They rocked!

Did you notice the crowd? They had a great time, singing along. It was probably the youngest crowd Q+AL ever had. These young people experienced the magic of Queen and they will never forget that.

They were the only act apart from Pharrell who got the crowd going

For someone who hates what the band do, hates Brian and Roger for playing like they do, hates the setlists, hates the choice of singer and the singer himself and hates the people who enjoy this collaboration you spend a lot if time watching and listening and commenting on everything they do.

Rockchic's post proves what any person with any musical knowledge, or just an ear, knows. Any artist will interpret any work in their own way. You go on about over singing, showing off and supposedly singing off time. . . Well it's all on display in that clip especially if you have the mind to think like that and be a tin pot critic.

^^^^^^ agreed

Yeah, and impressive to me that they are reaching such a young audience (perhaps in the wake of the movie). Nonetheless, they were singing along etc..... good to see!
